Take the kids to the Isle of Wight or mainland for free during the school holidays. Under 5s always travel free with Wightlink but when the schools break up, you can also take up to two children aged 5-15 for free with every adult or senior foot passenger day return ticket.
Make the most of this deal throughout 2024, covering:
October half term: 19 October - 3 November
Christmas holidays: 13 December 2024 - 5 January 2025
The Isle of Wight has a family day away for all tastes. You can choose to take in some culture at one of the Island’s many historical landmarks or let the kids roam free at an amusement park. Use our handy interactive map to find places to visit on your getaway.
The mainland is full of family fun, whether you want to keep it closer to home, with day trips to the New Forest or Portsmouth, or you’d rather spend the day seeing the sights of London. We’ll get you across the Solent in no time at all, with handy rail links found within moments of our Lymington and Portsmouth Harbour ports.
If you’re looking to travel from the mainland to the Island, click the ‘Book offer to Island’ button, and if you’re looking to travel to the mainland, click ‘Book offer to mainland’. Choose your dates of travel and ensure they fall within in the offer period. The discount will show at the payment stage. This offer is valid for up to two free children to every adult or senior. If you would like to add extra children outside the offer, please make a separate booking.
